The Zong

My sources tell me that, out of the 800 or so of you that have visited The Zong this month, close to 790 of you were looking for pictures of Bridget Moynahan. For the rest of you, I’m taking part in a fundraising event benefitting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society this June, and I figured I might use some of this increased traffic to write about something that actually matters for a change.

The event is a 100-mile lap around Lake Tahoe on a bike, and it promises to be a real great time for a real great cause. The thing is, It’s been a few years since my last century, and a lot of scotch and tamales have found their way into my life since then. I’m training for this event, and seeking donations to the cause. If you want, you can even sponsor one of my woeful body parts for the event, but even if you’re reading this and can only afford to give a little, your help will be greatly appreciated by me and by anyone who has been affected by blood cancers.

All proceeds from this event will go directly to patient services and research to develop treatment and curative therapies for Leukemia and Lymphoma. Sponsor a body part or give whatever you can, and let’s zong cancer right on outta here. Thanks in advance for your support!

P.S. - If you’re actually here looking for those photos, know that as soon as I reach my goal of $5,000, I promise to post as many pictures of Bridget as I can find. I’ll be writing her to see if she’ll donate some exclusive photos to the cause, if you know what I mean.
